Phantom... I just returned from St. George. I went a day early with my sister and we attended a performance of the infamous "Phantom of the Opera." It was an excellent performance. Truth be told, I have seen the Phantom on the professional stage twice before and I hated it. I never really got the story. To me it was about some creepy guy that seduces a young girl through music and that was just weird to me. Anyway, fast forward to when they released the film, I gave it another try. I ended up liking it... a lot! The Las Vegas production follows the film version very closely. The theater, special effect, and of course the actors were incredible. The ticket price was well worth reliving the music of the night for a third time.

PS... Apparently, Andrew Lloyd Weber is working on a sequel to the phantom... Something to do with NYC and Broadway... Who knows? Sounds strange.

So you scanned the phantom playbill instead of Ragtime at good ole Sandy Ampitheater? jk I loved seeing the Las Vegas one to. I would totally see it again, but different seats. Glad you got to see it.
